India’s renowned music composer A. R. Rahman has expressed his grief over the brutal murder of senior journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh.

Speaking to media during the premiere of ‘One Heart: The A.R. Rahman Concert Film’, the music maestro said he is very sad to hear about Gauri Lankesh’s death, adding, “This is not my India. I want to see India progressing and kind.”

The Kannada journalist, known for her left-leaning outlook, was shot dead by unidentified men at her residence on Tuesday.

Lankesh was a fierce advocate of secularism and opposed hardline Hindu groups associated with Prime Narendra Modi’s right-wing, nationalist ruling party.

Her weekly, with a circulation of more than 5,000, is regarded as influential in the state, read by policy makers and politicians.

Lankesh spent decades with various media outlets before taking over the newspaper started by her father.

A R Rehman is wrong. This IS the India he is used to where people are murdered in congress rule and congress NEVER catches the perps. Or where no rioters EVER get punished when riots happen in congress ruled states.

His heart is right, but his history is weak. If he was a constructive political activist he would have asked the congress govt to catch the perps and expose them in front of the nation. But he is not, so he is just parroting the popular communal line.

All these leftist and islamist communals are trying to cloud the investigation. Why dont they want the perps caught? Real liberals should put pressure on congress to catch the perps. Enough is enough. How much will they milk their own incompetence or worse, collusion?

Poor AR Rehman.

Suddenly he will now be seen by his name rather than the Indian genius that he is.

Cheers, Doc

This is a serious matter for India. Not everything is a circle jerking opportunity. We must put pressure on congress to catch the perps. I mean it is their constitutional duty, no? Or giving a state funeral discharged it?????

You should drink your religious snake oil moderately. You are becoming a retard. He has been nothing but a hero and incredibly successful and popular and his personal religious choice is not a factor. But to a salafist sub human none of what I wrote will even be visible.

How many accidents and mishaps in the last 50 days?

Modi can not escape from this by saying as always "this is state responsibility" type.

Indian Railways = Modi government.

Hence hands off on rhetorics Mr. Modi. We know you better on this natakbazi.

Most likely Mr Rahman will be on the hitlist.

I have to agree even with mr rahman

 

[ZeEa5KPul]

Mr. Rahman's appeal raises an interesting and deep philosophical question: is it possible to be morally good in India?

 

[SingaporeGuy]

Perhaps mr rahman should lose india and go pakistan where he will
Be accepted
